Savage .22 Package Deal $150 NEW?!?

I was at Dick's Sporting Goods today and saw a NEW package deal on a Savage MarkII or something like that. I'm new to savages and wish I could relay the entire proper name. It was a bolt action, wooden stock, blued action and bbl. Came with a simmons scope on it and it was pre-accutrigger and had a 10rnd magazine. It was on sale obviously and all for $150. Would these be a good buy for casual shooting and a plain ol' fun time? Or should I look around and wait to spend a little more $ and get a newer model or a different gun? Thanks.

if you don't have a .22lr, save and get a ruger 10/22.


thats my .22 cents worth :cool:

i dont own a .22. my original plan was to get the ruger. im just curiuos on why you suggest this?

I don't know anything about the savage.

I do know about and own a 10/22.

the 10/22 has proven itself for many years
there are plenty of aftermarket accessories
parts are plentiful.

There is a lot to be said for a bolt action .22, especially if you're into the larger bore bolt guns. You can practice the fundimentals and not spend upwards of $1.20 a round.

I'm thinkin' I'll have to pick up something like this for myself here soon.

no more need be said about bolt action 22LR's

That sounds like an awesome deal to me. I might have to go pick one up.

well, i spent a little more and bought a standard ruger 10/22 carbine (wood) with a simmons scope and a 25rnd hi cap magazine. shot it today for the first time and was pleased. now just to keep shooting and start modding [postal] :cool:

Go to Rimfire Central if you haven't already. Plan to spend a lot of time reading and drooling.

thanks ;) been lookin over there as well. i've just been posting every which place to get positive feedback. actually, i just bought a 10/22 with scope and hi cap mags for a good price so its time to start havin fun :)
